Hi Everyone,
In this lesson, I discuss one of the weird quirks of sus chords and also how they fit in a key. I mentioned in this video that I'd be happy to do a quick livestream about how it sounds to jam out a rhythm part using sus chords. If you'd like me to do that, let me know in the comments or on the next Office Hours and I'll come back and link the examples here.
Check out the attached cheat sheet if you want to remember which sus chords fit on I, ii, iii, IV, V, vi

The intro to "Electric Sunrise" by Plini uses this pattern of interchangeable A and E sus chords. This lesson was also my "aha" moment for recognizing suspended chords. I listen to a lot of prog metal/ instrumental prog so these lessons have been extremely helpful. :)
